> Thus, as we sleep on our coil-spring mattresses, we are in effect sleeping on an antenna that amplifies the intensity of the broadcast FM/TV radiation. Asleep on these antennas, our bodies are exposed to the amplified electromagnetic radiation for a third of our life spans. As we slumber on a metal coil-spring mattress, a wave of electromagnetic radiation envelops our bodies so that the maximum strength of the field develops 75 centimeters above the mattress in the middle of our bodies. When sleeping on the right side, the body's left side will thereby be exposed to field strength about twice as strong as what the right side absorbs. Anyone have a link to the actual paper? I want to see the field strength readings they took above mattresses in real urban environments. If this were true then there would be an absolute epidemic of cancer within 1/2 mile of TV transmitters, where the field strength might actually be meaningful. Aside from that, this article/paper goes to tortuous lengths to avoid the most obvious difference between Japan and the west (especially US): Diet.
